The article pasted below is from the most recent Freedom Scientific
Newsletter.  As a computer instructor, I've been anxiously awaiting this
news (this has been in the works for a long time).  If any of you know Dan
Clark at Freedom Scientific, please send him a note of thanks for his work
on this.  I have also contacted AiSquared to ask them to get approval for
their webinars, too, and they seem interested in doing so.    


We can only get credit for the PAID JAWS webinars (this is because the
provider-in this case Freedom Scientific-has to pay money to ACVREP to offer
the courses).  If for some reason you are lucky enough to go to a hands-on
workshop, those are not approved for ACVREP credit, either. 


Here is the link to the webinars that have been approved for credit with
ACVREP:  http://www.acvrep.org/ACVREP-Approved-CE-Opportunities.php?item=all
<http://www.acvrep.org/ACVREP-Approved-CE-Opportunities.php?item=all&pro=2&o
rp=241> &pro=2&orp=241.  The 12 credit course "JAWS Training for Teachers
and AT Trainers" is only $49.  You can do a live webinar or one that has
been archived.  Of course, you will have to take a quiz afterward to get
your credits.
